kingjurisdoctor@gmail.com -- In the Civil Rights Justice system there are two sets of people: Those who are haters and those who fight back. These are their stories. Blink-Blink.
Movies: KingCast.net and KingCast65 YouTube -- A NENPA member news and information journal.

Sooo...... After more than two years of heartache and 2.5 days of deliberation, closure has arrived for Patty Talbot in the form of Guilty Verdicts against Robert Iacoviello, Jr. (Murder 2 and Firearm possession) and James Heang (Accessory, NG on possession). No charges brought against Michael Picardi due to "prosecutorial discretion" as noted in the above video, even though the State knows that he was the chief mastermind in disassembling the murder weapon.

Sentencing will come at a later date per request of the Defendants, and victim statements will be taken later as well. Seated next to Ms. Talbot, the Victim's advocate told her "Both Paul and Connie said the same thing, they're not ready."

Ms. Talbot -- with whom I have a cordial rapport, despite what you haters have to say -- was sobbing throughout most of the courtroom verdict procedure and unlike other reporters, I didn't bother trying to ask her for a comment, it's just not the Right Time.

It was a hotly-contested case and there will be hotly-contested appeals based on the issues I have set forth in this blog, and some others. "He didn't do it, and we will appeal to the SJC,"offered Defense Attorney Peter Krupp.

Another lawyer got on the elevator with me today at lunch break. We look at each other and nod. There is a long, hard blink between us and we almost immediately knew each other as former LE Attorneys watching a horrible case. There was silent communication between us that what happened is a shame all around. He broke the silence first.

"That's gonna' take a lot of rehabilitation there," he said, speaking of how dinged-up Krupp left Papandrea on the witness stand.

"I know, Man," I responded. "That was pretty ugly in there."

"You don't get to murder one on that witness, no you don't."*******I'm still not clear how we got a Murder 2 charge on the table, and if Krupp did not ask for it that may be part of an appeal.

Related post:Closing Arguments. And to you haters, I would have recorded the State's closing argument as well, but with major media there I was prohibited, this matter was addressed and everything is okay now, I spoke with the Chief Bailiff, but more rules will need to be crafted.PS: At top, two of my favorite pictures of the lead warriors Krupp and Edmund Zabin -- but also dig the big picture of Zabin next to Channel 7, catch his parabolic reflection in the eyeglass, nice.

Do you find it at all strange that Michael Picardi wasn't charged with a single thing despite Gia Nagy's plea being conditioned on her direct statements that she assisted him in dismantling what the Jury found to be the murder weapon?

Cris thank you for the great coverage of the trail. it has brought a little light to the events of that awful night. This is coming from a life long Revere resident and a personal friend of Danny and the other officers , well not all. NOT that scumbag SCEANE LEAVING.RUNNING with his tail between the legs. coward Even Fraidy cat. but the others there that night.So people if your bashing MR King for reporting this case. only the facts and a few opinions were used. He is also not a cop hater. Respect the man. He brought us what we have to believe was the truth.I guess justice was served. .....Don't hate the player . Hate the game. I applaud you MR King..Keep up the good work PLAYA.

Richard Ireton at North Shore Tab was searing in his condemnation, and I must say he makes a point here on the M1-M2 bailout: I quote in pertinent part:

Let’s role play for a minute.

Let’s say Dan, I’m a cop and obviously I support the death penalty for killing cops. As a cop I would be very wary of what you just said publically…actually, I’d be very concerned.

You see it’s really simple Dan, you told everyone over the last 2 ½ years there was enough evidence to get a murder 1 conviction; premeditated murder is what you and Wark said.. You both repeatedly assured everyone that it was a premeditated murder…”an ambush,” I believe is what was said.

Now you’re “okay with a murder 2 verdict?” And that’s based on the facts of the case, facts that you and Wark said were solid? The fact is, what you meant is that you could just as easily lost because of the evidence…isn’t it Dan.

chris, thanks for the coverage of the case. at any time did the prosecution put the gun in iacoviello's hand other than other deal making gang member's testimony.ex: fingerprints,dna. just because someones girlfriend's dna is on the gun doesn't mean the boyfriend is guilty. from your coverage, if i was a juror, i have doubt he's guilty. thanks, m.c

Chris. It's obvious you are very disappointed with the verdict. You would have got much more mileage with an NG. Your anti-police agenda is obvious in your postings and history. Agitate and blog, repeat....
